Chapter 1177: Chapter 1173: Barrier Within a Barrier

The copper mirror was still full of thoughts about how it would make its appearance later to save face; it would be even better if it could stand on Yun Ran and be revered by everyone.

In the end, all its imaginations were in vain, wasting the chance it strived to gain from Yun Ran.

This made the somewhat proud momentum of the copper mirror wilt instantly.

Even the entire surface of the copper mirror began to show a hint of defeated gray darkness.

Yun Ran didn’t care about the copper mirror’s lifeless appearance, her gaze was tightly fixed on the direction of the light column.

This scene made the corners of Yun Ran’s mouth curl into a mocking arc.

Who would have thought that she, a seasoned falcon hunter, would now be pecked in the eye by an eagle, tricked time and again.

After a while, she gritted her teeth and spat out a few words: "So it’s an illusion!"

Thinking of herself, the esteemed Young Master of Qingfeng Temple, being deceived by such an illusion!

If the brothers and sisters of the past knew this, she feared she would be laughed at for years.

Perhaps due to being contracted with Yun Ran, the copper mirror at this moment could clearly sense Yun Ran’s emotional changes, and instinctively reduced its presence.

Afraid of being angered by Yun Ran and becoming an unfortunate copper mirror.

But sometimes, the more you don’t want something to happen, the more it does.

Yun Ran’s gaze returned to the copper mirror, her tone chilled with undeniable authority: "Now is the time for you to prove yourself!"

Copper Mirror: ...

It knew this would happen!

Despite lowering its presence, it was still singled out by Yun Ran!

As if it was never a copper mirror held in high regard, just a minion Yun Ran could order around as she pleased.

But it dared not refute anything at this moment, afraid of being angered and facing a worse fate.

The copper mirror reluctantly energized itself with ": [Leave it to me, rest assured!]

Though it entirely forgot how powerful it was before being divided into a twelfth.

However, it later remained impressive, particularly adept at seeing through many illusions.

The copper mirror strained to emit several rays of colorful light, covering the surroundings without leaving a single dead corner.

Quickly, the copper mirror detected some situations.

[Ahead, there is a barrier wall blocking, inside lies something, that something should be the source of the illusion we’ve seen before.]

After the copper mirror forced these words out from the surface, it felt like it had collapsed, its light dimming.

The entire surface of the copper mirror even showed a faint rusty green, as if it had been buried for many years and has just seen daylight again.

Yun Ran looked at the copper mirror in this state and immediately understood that it had really exhausted its efforts.

"You’ve worked hard!"

After saying this, Yun Ran put the copper mirror away, even though sometimes she wanted to suppress the copper mirror.

But seeing the copper mirror working so hard, obviously overconsumed, Yun Ran was somewhat moved; she certainly wasn’t a ’Boss Zhou’.

After storing the copper mirror, Yun Ran’s gaze turned to the place the copper mirror had pointed out the problem.

Muttering to herself: "So it’s a barrier wall, huh, it may stop others, but it can’t stop me!"

Yun Ran stepped forward, and at the position of the barrier, she could walk through smoothly without any impediment.

Had she not known in advance about the special barrier wall here, Yun Ran would have completely overlooked it.

After figuring out the location, Yun Ran took out the Peach Wood Sword and plunged forcefully.

With a sound of ’ripping’, the barrier was pierced, producing a sound very much like cloth being torn.

The barrier just opened a small hole, a strong suction rushed toward Yun Ran.

Luckily, Yun Ran had prepared thoroughly, even though the suction surprised her, it did not cause panic.

In an instant, Yun Ran’s figure vanished from the spot.

The surroundings were left with nothing but those piles of white bones, so quiet that it was eerie, as if no living person had ever appeared here.

After a bout of dizziness, Yun Ran’s mind quickly cleared, but the scene before her left her somewhat speechless.

This was an even colder space, just being within it made one feel as if their bones were frozen.

Even the Fire Essence that had been with Yun Ran was affected, its flames reduced by a circle.

’Drip, drip...’

The sound was much like water droplets falling, echoing like surround sound, making it hard to discern where it originated.

Yun Ran could only walk aimlessly towards the direction she found pleasing, but after just a few steps, her breathing became laborious.

This place seemed to be a natural restraint for Dark Masters.

Even someone like Yun Ran, who was proficient in various magical principles, found it hard to resist the suppression here.

If someone with slightly weaker power came, they might not survive for long.

Yun Ran decisively sealed the Xuan Sect power in her body, if other Dark Masters were here, they would think Yun Ran was just an ordinary girl.

This way of sealing one’s power was similar to the method used by her Junior Master to save her life after she was rebounded by Heavenly Dao.

Without the support of Xuan Sect’s power, this hidden barrier within the barrier indeed reduced its suppression and hostility towards Yun Ran.

But due to the lack of Xuan Sect’s power support, an ordinary person’s body would find it extremely difficult to withstand the cold here.

This means, regardless of one’s identity, anyone appearing here would be rejected and suppressed by the barrier.

Perishing here is just a matter of time, the difference isn’t significant.

Yun Ran took a deep breath, reaching for the Fire Essence; she finally dispersed some of the cold.

Thanks to the Fire Essence being enticed by Yun Ran and treating her exceptionally kindly, otherwise, Yun Ran wouldn’t dare grab it with her bare hands.

After temporarily resolving the pressing danger, Yun Ran’s gaze turned sharp.

She intended to figure out these matters during the hard-won time she had gained.

"I wonder what is hidden here, capable of devouring so many Dark Masters’ lives, reducing them to piles of white bones!"

Another ’drip’ sounded.

Yun Ran’s steps quickened; soon, she saw the source of the ’water dripping’ sound.

Not far ahead of her, a giant, strangely shaped stone hovered in mid-air.
